19 years ago tonight - the Maker with DMB. This was actually a great show. Still my only trip to Oak Mtn.

Ever since Phish started playing large venues they've gone without having opening acts in all but the rarest occasions. The Vermonters made a few exceptions in the mid '90s, most notably for the Dave Matthews Band in 1994 just before the DMB hit it big. Dave and his band opened a five shows for Phish in 1994, one of which took place 19 years ago tonight at Oak Mountain in Pelham, AL.

Phish played a pair of sets on that Saturday night in Alabama and when they returned for the encore, following a drum duet by Jon Fishman and Carter Beauford, all of the Dave Matthews Band came out for a debut cover of Daniel Lanois' "The Maker." Matthews handled vocals on the tune, which the Jerry Garcia Band, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson have also covered over the years, with Anastasio providing falsetto backing vocals. The version of "The Maker" the bands laid down that night still stands as the only version in Phish history, though Anastasio performed the tune a few times as a member of Dave Matthews & Friends.

I remember refusing to go in for DMB with my girlfriend and her sister. She was pissed.
Fuck that shit.

Even back then, your hate ran that deep for those guys?

Something tells me that Birdman was cool before cool was cool.

Which is pretty cool.

Holy shit, he's older than I thought.

[barnesy305]

Because Dave Matthews sounds like his balls are being hit with a hammer...

[VA $l!m]

i saw DMB open for the phish @ the 4.20 show.
it wasnt that bad... i think... actually the onyl thing i remember is the sit in during the phish set.
i grew up with the bass player so it was cool seeing them at that point just right before they really broke.

Fucking love that song, I only saw it once when Jerry played it at Hampton in '93.

That was pretty amazing. Second only to Shining Star that night.

I listened to that yesterday and Trey's line in Harpua drove me nuts trying to remember what it was from (Where the Banshees live and they do live well)   I didn't have web access at the time.  Thanks for the reminder.  I just looked it up now and feel so much more at peace knowing that now.
